There are about 9745 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Israel. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
The majority of cancer patients experience exhaustion, fatigue, and neuropathy that impact their participation in daily activities and reduce their quality of life. In addition, they may affect the ability to function at work and delay a return to employment. Studies have demonstrated that physical activity has a positive effect and consequently, patients being treated for cancer are advised to avoid inactivity. Various studies have described Tai Chi practice as beneficial in reducing exhaustion and fatigue to some extent, and have suggested that it may improve the quality of life of cancer patients. The environment in which physical activity takes place is also important. The properties of water and their effect on the submerged human body may be particularly beneficial for cancer patients. A previous study among breast cancer patients reported that exercise in deep water significantly reduced exhaustion and fatigue compared to patients who received only regular treatment. The practice of Tai Chi in water is termed Ai Chi. The objectives of the present study are to examine the effects of an Ai Chi program as compared to an intervention group undergoing identical physical exercise on land, and a third group with no additional exercise in cancer patients on:(A)time to return to work, work hours, perception of work-related difficulties, and work absenteeism;(B)activity and participation in the daily life and quality of life; and(C)exhaustion, fatigue, and neuropathy. This is a randomized clinical trial. 150 cancer patients aged 18-65 years will be recruited. Subjects who meet the recruitment criteria will be randomly divided into one of three groups:(a)Water exercise (Ai Chi);(b)Identical land exercise; and(c)Control-who will not perform additional physical activity or receive any extra treatments. The exercise program will be scheduled for 30 minutes twice a week for 8 weeks. Research tools include:(1)WHODAS 2.0;(2)EORTC QLQ-C30; (3)Piper Fatigue Scale;(4) Employment Barriers Questionnaire;(5) Neuropathy Questionnaire (EORTCOLO QLQ-CIPN20);and(6)Date of return to work and duration of working hours - self-report by the study participants. Data will be collected before the intervention, after 8 weeks of intervention, and then at 3, 12, and 24 months from the end of the intervention. The investigators will perform a series of mixed variance analyzes to identify relationships and associations between groups and with time within a group (independent variables).
The purpose of this study is to characterize safety and to determine the putative recommended Phase 2 dose(s) (RP2D[s]) and optimal dosing schedule(s) of JNJ-80948543 in Part A (Dose Escalation) and to further characterize the safety of JNJ-80948543 at the putative RP2D(s) in Part B (Cohort Expansion).
The aim of this study was to evaluate for the first time in the Gaza-strip the characteristics and incidence of Upper Extremity Trauma (UET) during the COVID-19 pandemic. The participants, investigated the characteristics of UET cases, and evaluated the UET primary medical-care. Additionally, also evaluate the obstacles in treating UET in Gaza during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Serious medical diagnosis frequently induce fear focused on specific anticipations or generalized anxiety, along with uncertainty, insecurity, and disorientation. Other emotions such as anger, depression, hopelessness, shame, or grief may also become involved following a serious diagnosis. The adverse impact of stress on health and immune function is well-established, as well as its link to depression and anxiety. Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) has demonstrated efficacy in treating anxiety, depression, and PTSD. This study tests its effectiveness in reducing negative emotional symptoms in general, and fear of recurrence in particular, among individuals previously diagnosed with melanoma and currently in remission.
This is a multi-center, retrospective study of ucEGFRmut (exon 20 insertions excluded) metastatic NSCLC osimertinib-treated as first EGFR inhibitor. RECIST and RANO-BM brain objective response rate (ORR) were evaluated by investigators. mPFS, mOS and mDOR were calculated from osimertinib initiation. Mutations found at resistance were collected.
MISTRAL (Microbiome-based stratification of individuals at risk of HIV-1 acquisition, chronic clinical complications, antimicrobial drug resistance, and unresponsiveness to therapeutic HIV-1 vaccination) is a 5-year EU Horizon 2020 project, running from 1/1/2020 - 31/12/2024. The project is led by Fundacio Privada Institut de Recerca de la Sida-Caixa CAIXA in Barcelona and aims to explore the gut microbiota in relation to HIV-1, seeking microbiome biomarkers to support development of interventions that mitigate infection and enhance response to vaccines and therapies. If successful, MISTRAL will benefit millions of human beings living with, or at risk of acquiring HIV-1 infection, and will produce novel concepts and technical innovations applicable to other human diseases. By doing that, MISTRAL will help to unlock the full clinical potential of the human microbiome to stratify patient outcomes and will irreversibly bring microbiome science closer to clinical practice
This a study of V116 in adults ≥50 years of age who previously received a pneumococcal vaccination ≥1 year before enrollment. The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of V116.
The study objective is to determine the biomarker status of a participant's tumor tissue and use that status to determine eligibility for a linked Roche clinical trial.
In this clinical study the Notal Vision Home OCT (NVHO) Monitoring System will be used to evaluate the ability of patients diagnosed with DME to perform sequential self-images of their eyes with the self-operated NVHO device in a home simulated environment in the doctor's office. The study population will include up to 30 patients, with DR in at least one eye at the time of enrollment. All subjects will be enrolled at one site in Israel.
The aim of this study is to assess the impact of culprit-first versus culprit-last percutaneous coronary intervention on the door to balloon time and clinical outcomes in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction.
